'I'm sorry for your loss': The five little words I hope Kate Cox and her family will hear

usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2023/12/16/abortion-law-texas-supreme-court-grief-loss-child/71921629007/

Quick Glance: Lack of Compassion in Abortion Discourse

The abortion discourse has led to a lack of compassion in society.

We have ceased to consider those seeking abortion as parents or as individuals doing their best given the circumstances.

Many individuals will use the story of the Kate Cox family as a basis for further debating abortion.

Others will undoubtedly pass judgment if the family even considers ending the life of their unborn child.

Quick Glance: Democrats Highlight Texas Abortion Case for 2024 Campaign

Texas Supreme Court's decision to block a Dallas woman from terminating a troubled pregnancy amplifies GOP efforts to ban abortions, sparking Democrats' commitment to make it a key element of their 2024 campaign message.

To avoid risk, a 31-year-old mother of two fled Texas for a state where abortion is legal.

The episode intensified the partisan fight over women's reproductive rights after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and the subsequent state prohibitions.

Republicans narrowly won a House victory, while Democrats retained control of the Senate, seen as a referendum on the overturning of Roe by the conservative Supreme Court majority.

Quick Glance: Senate Passes Defense Bill, Rejecting Far-Right Policies

The $886 billion legislation is the result of bipartisan negotiations between the House and Senate, removing right-wing restrictions on abortion, transgender care, and diversity initiatives.

The measure has caused backlash in the House, with many Republicans angry at their leaders for dropping hard-line provisions.

The Senate overwhelmingly passed an $886 billion defense bill on Wednesday, defying demands from hard-right Republicans for partisan restrictions on abortion, transgender care, and diversity initiatives.

The defense bill also extends a program allowing warrantless surveillance of foreign individuals, which has come under scrutiny due to F.B.I.'s actions.
